Rare earths are a series of exotically named elements such as ytterbium, lanthanum and gadolinium. They are crucial to computers, LED displays, wind turbines, electric cars and many other products essential to a low-carbon world. Almost 60 per cent of the world's supply of these vital materials is produced in China and much of the rest is owned by Chinese companies. Until now.'A big X-ray machine'
"It's a big X-ray machine on a conveyor belt and it separates the white quartz from the much heavier and denser rare earth ore," Connelly said. Nechalacho's refined product is going to a customer in Norway, where the individual minerals will be separated from each other and processed into metallic bars.
This story is about minerals produced outside of china. And where will these minerals for computers and displays to be made end up? China
Let’s destabilize the political structures of Canada to throw the nation into chaos and lower the costs of those rare earths. If Canadians are worse off, wages and extraction prices will come down. Let’s make it happen, China?
This is a good news story! Productivity!
